Former Pa. DEP chief Krancer discusses court decision on gas drilling

OnPoint: Tuesday, January 21, 2014

Following last month's Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision overturning sections of the state's gas drilling law, how much authority do municipalities now have over drilling practices? During today's OnPoint, Michael Krancer, former secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and now chairman of Blank Rome's energy, petrochemical and natural resources practice, discusses the ruling and its implications for Marcellus Shale operations. He also weighs in on the impact of this year's Pennsylvania gubernatorial race on the future of fracking.
